Phases Of the Interstate Commerce Act,
Opinions continue to diLTsr concerning
the effects Of the commerce act. Even
railroad mon do no.. agree touching it's
supposed manifold iniquitiea. An official
Of one Western road says that business Cd
his line has increased largely since the
law went into effect, but the law ia not 10
be credited with the increase. Another
declares that traffic OF his line has fallen
of largely, and he knows that it is all the
fault Of the new Ian.
One says that long haul points will
suffer moat; another that local traffic will
catch it, because that is the traffic that
pays, and that freight and passenger
tariffs will have to be adjusted as to en-
able the roads still to get their principal
revenue where they got it before.
Nov it would puzzle anyone but q pro-
f~essionRl manipulation OF railroad tariffs to
understand how all this can be-. Surely
nobody suspected thEt the new Law had
bound up within it Probabilities SO vast
and diverse. Neither YVES it supposed
that 60 many railroad men would be in
duced BY the Law to begin at once the
preparation Of material Tor the comic
almanac.

The Labor Party.

~SyRAGEsE, August 1s.-Tlie labor party.
which is under the leadership Of Henry
George. DR.. McGlynn and John McMakin
began its state convention here yesterday.
Louis E. Root, who was supported by
Henry George and DR.. McGlynn, was
made temporary chairman. The com
mittee were then appointed and the con
ventiol took a recess. The convention
~reassenlbled at / p. NJ. Henry George
and DIR. MeGlynn. John MeMackin and
Louis Post entered the hall at the side
door amid hearty applause.
MeHaekin, last night. denounced the
Union Labor party as trainps and pirates
and these expressions aroused much feel
ing in the Junior committee. who retorted
that the New York city delegations in
convention are all members of other afili-
ations, and are taking care Of the aspiri-
tions of candidates for the Legislative off
ces. After ON hours the Union Labor
party gave up all hopes Of recognition or
compromise in the labor CAUCUS.
1t was decided not to admit the social
lists t seats. The executive committee
also held that members of any other politi-
cal party were ineligible to membership
in the convent on. The Union Labor
party headed by John ]. Junior proposed
to combine on a state ticket, but as al
ready stated no union could be effected.
They adhere to the principles of the
Union Labor party AZ defined by the
Rochester convention.

as the enemy of the white man. The
Colorado disturbances which now oe-
cupy public attention began very
simply. According to a dispatch
from Glenwood Springs, the nearest
telegraph station to the agency,
the last grand jury indicted two of
Colorow's bucks for DEMONSTRATING.
Last week Sheriff Kendall. with a
small posse of men, started for the
White River country to arrest the two
bucks, who, with a band Of renegades,
were camped in the vicinity of Nee
ker. close to the scene OF the Meeker
massacre OF 1879. The sheriff and
posse went to the Indian camp and
demanded the two bucks from Chief
Colorow. The old renegade refused
to surrender them to the sheriff. OF
allow them to be arrested, swearing
by his forefathers that he was a heap
big iniun.' The Indians began firing
on the sherif's men, and the fire was
returned, killing one Indian. The In
dams retired to the brush and kept up
the firing, shooting at everyone in
sight. The sheriff apparently held
his ground and sent for aid to the
mayor of Meeker, who, in turn, APP
piled to the governor of Colorado.
Since Friday last. when this appeal
was made, the sheriff, with his men,
has retired to Meeker, to await, no
doubt, the troops who have been sent
to his aid. Before retiring some of
the. sheriff.s men killed the son of
Chief Colorow. This act, it is sup
posed. will arouse the anger OF that
old reprobate and impel him to call
his followers to arms. The conflict
has evidently reached a crisis. The
Colorado troops are by this time near
or at the seat Of war. Unless the
Indians surrender the horse-steaIers
quietly a campaign, which may be
short, sharp and decisive, seems in
evitable.

THE INDTAN VAR.

Indian wars seemed to be out of
date. We have heard lately OF the
Indian only in connection with lands
in ~severalty, the right-of-way through
reservations, and the surrender of
large portions Of other reservations.
The story of Indian wrongs is seldom
recited, and commissioners who visit
indian settlements. such as that N
charge of Major Roman, find the
sschild of the forest learning to read
aud write, as il he had been of eau
casian origin.
The Indian is, however, as tickle as
the weather. No one can tell when

THE DIRECTORY.

In publishing by home enterprise
q directory Great Falls has made
another stride toward metropolitan
rank. Directories are apparently dry
reading, but they are valuable for
current use and in a historical sense
The learned world would now value
highly a directory OF Athens or Jeru-
salem or Rome. What a food f light
such a book would throw on the popa-
lation, the names and occupation of
the people! How readily the modern
"boomer" could tell therefrom the
exact population of the ancient city
how much better than the Pompei
houses it would reveal the daily pur-
suits of the people who dwelt IN the
cities of the olden time.
It is only within recent years that
people have discerned this historical
value in directories. In New York,
thew serve to trace the rise of families
who now possess great wealth. Often,
too, they tell the decline of houses
which were once powerful, and lndi-
cate how one branch OF business has
succeeded while another has goue to
the wall.
In cities such as st. Paul and Min
neapolis the directories r full OF en-
enlargement to young towns like
our own. They show that men who
engaged in trade in a small way rose
gradually to wealth and, better still, to
public distinction as good citizens,
while others who began business with
capital and were led into speculation
are no longer on the list. The direc-
tories of the twin cities also tell as
plainly as larger volumes that the
men who succeed inthe west are those
who stand by their town in hard
times as well as good-Who resolve to
make the town prosperous as much as
they can-and who put their shoulder
to the wheel whenever the public good
can be promoted, regardless of any
direct interest which they may or
MAJ not have in the result. Great
Falls, we hope, will continue like the
cities to show a long list of the old
names supplemented by many lei
ones, especially of manufacturers who
will turn to good account our mineral
wealth and immense water-power.

TREE PLANTING.

In an illustrated account of Denver
just published by Frank Laslie's we
read: Denver stands at the eleya-
ton Of $500 feet above the sea level.
There is but little rain and the air is
clear, crisp, pure and bracing. Built
on the once barren plains at the juno
ton Of Cherry creek and the South
Platte river the city has during the
quarter century Of its existence been
wrought into a yeritable oasis. The
early settlers saw the advantage of
having shade and soon began to set
out trees. The result is that go where
you may in the city, outside Of the
business district, trees abound. 1t is
a splendidly shaded city. Gnrgling
along each side Of every street is q
pretty little brooke clear water. The
absence Of rain makes irrigation a
necessity and the streams have come
to be almost as much a thing of orna-
ment as Of utility. There are also
beautiful homes in great number and
there are few that r not surrounded
by large bluegrass lawns with plenty
Of flowers, shrubbery and shade
trees"
There is much that is instructive to
Great Falls in the above extract. 1t
will be seer that the foresight Of these
early settlers in planting shade trees
has beea amply rewarded by the i'm
proved appearance Of the city which
as seen from the courthouse seems as
il built in a forest. The adornment
Of the city has also been promoted
by the lawns which have flowers and
shrubs in abundance. All this pro-
gress has been made on barren
plains with no Waser at hand until
artesian wells were sunk a few years
ago-save what could be procured
from sluggish, shallow streams. How.
much greater success may be attained
here where the soil is fertile and
where the broad Missouri with its
clear, pure waters flows almost at our
doors! In addition we have around
us a country which far surpasses the
region around Denver.
